Bobcats Off Season Trade Rumors

[SWedd523]

Well for One Fields crumbled HORRIBLY in the play offs both offensivley an defensivley. Once Melo got to New York his numbers took a nose dive aswell. He benefited from the situation he was int, New York having nobody else to play at the 2 other than Roger Mason Jr.You dont honestly believe he is one of the best 5 players in his draft class do you?

Wall was better. So was Cousins. After them, who else was better?


Jordan Crawford? ehh
Ed Davis? no
Greg Monroe? maybe

Fields did fine. Remember, he was in the pressure cooker of NY and was only a Rookie. Of course he hit a wall late in the year heading into the playoffs. Dont just about all Rookies hit a wall late in the year. After all, they are playing 3x as many games as they are accustomed to playing. I'm not saying he's an All Star. But he did pretty darn well for a Rookie who was a 2nd round draft pick.

He had a better rookie year than every Bobcats draft pick except.....Okafor?

Felton, May, Morrison, Augustin, etc all had mixed results as rookies.

If we could turn every future 2nd round pick into a Landry Fields'esq player...it'll make Cho look like a genius.

Per Chad Ford, several teams are looking to trade up ahead of Utah at #12 to grab Jimmer. NY is one of them. There could be a very interesting play for Charlotte and trading #9. We could be in position to demand a king's ransom.

i would be less interested in acquiring any of nyk's players outside of melo or amare (even fields) than i would want to lose a contract from either diop or tyrus and getting a late first rounder from them for next year's draft.

Word is Toronto are high on Byombo. They could trade down to 9 if hes still there. We could trade for whoever they draft, (kanter, Knight or Valancnas) send them Biyombo and something else? I dunow... thats not really a great idea

[ohara831]

Reports now are that Cavs are committed to Irving at #1 and taking offers for #4. That would basically give us the choice of Kanter, Valanciunas or Vesely. Wonder what we would have to put together with #9 to get to #4? And would the price be too steep?

[Plowright]

Prob could but not sure i want to. All eggs into one basket for Kanter the unkown, Valancunas with Buyout issues and Vesley who im not sure is better than 9 and 19 by himself

[SirBobcat]

Utah is picking Kanter. Just forget about Kanter. Cleveland knows this and don't want to pick at 4 with the crop of guys there.

If we traded up to 4, Valanciunas is the best player that would be available there...but I think that the buyout situation is the problem. We aren't in the position right now where financially this team can wait on a player like Minny waited on Rubio. If this team wants to start making money, we need hope and we need it in the form of a young player right now, that's just my opinion. So that's why we either need to stay put, trade a pick for a veteran, or trade to 4 and pick either Knight (If Utah takes Kanter...which I still don't understand why they would with their PG/SG situation and with Jefferson at C), Kemba, or maybe even think about Burks.

That to me isn't enough reason to trade up.
